One hundred years after the beginning of the Latrobe Valley coal industry, workers and communities in Gippsland are preparing for a whole new energy system powered by renewables.
This June 17, you’re invited to the Gippsland premiere of Power On, a 25 minute short film by Ellen Burbidge and produced by Friends of the Earth, telling the story of Gippsland’s incredible energy transformation.
Through a series of inspiring and heartfelt interviews with leaders from across the region you will learn how communities are seizing the opportunities in renewable energy right now to build a better future.
The film will be launched at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre in Traralgon as part of the Festival of Big Ideas, which is all about harnessing creative energy, generating compelling ideas and inspiring each other to shape the future of the Gippsland region.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and QandA with the filmmaker and key leaders featured in the documentary:
- Marge Thorpe, Gunaikurnai Elder
- Ellen Burbidge, Documentary filmmaker
- Wendy Farmer, Friends of the Earth Gippsland Organiser and President of Voices of the Valley
